The perfect resource for starting work in metal forging, this guide
introduces the traditional techniques from a modern perspective. It
focuses on the basics, and includes classic procedures of the craft
like punching and bending, as well as modern processes such as
plasma cutting, heating with a blowtorch, or the use of manual
power tools. With clear instructions and over 500 detailed
full-color photos throughout, the book introduces the craft's
materials and tools, from the raw material (iron and steel), to the
fuels, to the forge and its accessories. Next, basic techniques in
eight key subject areas are taught step by step. The book includes
instructions for ten creative projects ranging from a cold-forged
table trivet to a candelabra, and even a large sculpture applying
industrial processes. A creativity-inspiring photo gallery features
a selection of pieces by artists worldwide.
